Elwha River Day

Thursday after a morning of shopping (eeep!), we went over to the tribal library, so I could introduce everyone to my first library boss and my second library boss and my third library boss (worked first for SA, then PH, then SA again, a dreadful long time ago), then we drove over to the end of the road to peer at the mouth of the river from within—it was windy and we'd never make it if we tried to approach at the Strait.
